When Doctor Strange attempted to use the Faltine's Flame to burn away the Darkforce dome and free the city, the flame accidentally hit Pluorrg, charring several of the top layers of its skin. The Elder God then captured him along with Spider-Woman and Ben Urich, who were trying to invade the Sanctum Sanctorum with Daredevil at the time, and tried to devour them. However, the Kingpin was able to incapacitate the Elder God by driving a limousine into its head.[1]
